Dylan and I saw Toy Story 3 on Sunday night. I was told I would cry. But instead, I burst into laughter at a time most inappropriate because I couldn’t believe I was about to cry at an animated movie about toys that talk. :) Also Tuesday-worthy, were two little kids who upon seeing me and Dylan were all, “THEY’RE seeing Toy Story!! They’re so old! HAHAHA!!” Uhh, really? Toy Story is for kids raised in the 90’s. Not noobs like you. Same goes for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Where the Wild Things Are, and Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Disses to Apple. I’m almost positive they manufacture their chargers to die just when their customers need power the most. I purchased two chargers this past week in hopes that they’ll last me twice as long as my previous one, whose lifespan was a mere 8 months. Boo, Apple. Boo!!
Hollaaa! My half-birthday is in TEN days. Just sayin’! :) Maybe Dylan will get me a baby turtle named Atticus to hold me over until Sullivan comes along. (Hint, hint!!)
No. 31 of my 101 in 1001 list reads: “Try a new hairstyle.” And while there are plenty of tasks on that list I’ve still yet to muster the courage to complete (i.e., No. 37: Drink 8 full glasses of water a day), I can now cross off No. 31. Last Tuesday, I chopped off approximately 10 inches of hair. And.. I didn’t tell Dylan beforehand! I thought about canceling my appointment about seven times before that fateful morning, but I did it! And now, I am a bona fide newly married woman, short hair cut and all.
When life slows down, I want to read more. I am the queen of books half-read. And there are still so many books already on my shelves (yes, we have shelves!) that I want to get through. But I’d love some fresh suggestions! Hit up the comment section with your fave reads!!
So, what’s up with our favorite sitcoms switching up actresses who play the same character? Take Vivian on Fresh Prince and Harriet on Family Matters. Excuse me, Hollywood, but I need some stability when it comes to my TBS mother-figures.
Song of the week: World Spins Madly On by The Weepies. It’s the perfect song for pretending you’re the star in a music video. Tell me I’m not the only one. :)
I leave you with a taste of next week. Meet our new clients and friends, Rachel and Travis, who are engaged to be married in April. :)

Jessica Z - 1. I have heard SO many good things about Toy Story 3! I think me and Ryan need to see it! Is it in 3D? Or do you have a choice of non-3D? Because he hates paying $4 more for a movie ticket, just to see the movie in 3D hahaha.
2. I thought I was the ONLY one who gets excited about my half birthday! I should have known to get your opinion on half birthdays though, just like everything else. FIVE DAYS for me!
3. The 8 glasses of water a day… it’s tough. I was (trying) to do it when I was training for a road race. Nearly impossible, but it can be done!
4. I think I’m the princess of half-read books. My shelves are also filled with books that I need to finish, once I have some free time, which STILL doesn’t come that often, despite being done with Newhouse haha.
5. I have been playing “The Wold Spins Madly On” on Pandora for the past month. IN LOVE!!! They’re coming out with a new album at the end of August… if I can remember that facebook ad correctly hahaha.
6. Reading this blog and having the constant thought of “HOW IN THE WORLD is it possible for two people to have the exact same, strange thoughts” makes me miss youuuuu! I hope Houston has been AMAZING so far! One of these days, we’re going to have a Skype date. Miss you lovely lady!
Jess - OH and PS- LOVE the picture! I can’t wait to see the full shoot!
Rachel - Love everything about this picture buuuutttttt, MY FACE!!! lol, not the best of me!
Trevor M. - Books!
-Desiring God by John Piper
-Psalm 119 (I know it’s the Bible, but it will blow ya up!)
-The book I got you two lovely folks for the wedding. Read it together! :-D
Miss you both! Hop on over to my blog sometime. It’s theological and nerdy, but what would you expect from me? http://arguingwithangels.blogspot.com
Jesslyn - I love reading your blogs! You’re so sweet and down to earth! Love the photo–beautiful!!! But, there’s only one thing missing… I want to see your hair!!!!!!
Kaylah Howe - I would recommend my favorite book in the world, “The Five People You Meet In Heaven” by Mitch Albom…you CANNOT put it down!! A few other good one from him are “For One More Day”, and “Tuesdays With Morrie” (sp there)…and one of my all time fav books that I read in 7th grade and re-read last christmas is “The Giver” by Lois Lowry!!!
Tammy Rehak - You guys look totally awesome!!!! Love is in the air!
pam - Toy Story 3 was a little too awesome, I mean Mr. Potato head & the tortilla? Seriously I couldn’t stop laughing through out the movie!
I’m totally on the same page with the half read books, last night I actually went through & separated my books into “haven’t read” & “started to read” piles. Hopefully the started to read pile will get smaller & not grow LOL
The 8 glasses a day isn’t too hard if you just fill up a 20 ounce bottle three times & keep it with you all the time.
Awesome picture!
Noël - Toy story 3 was the best of them all the toy storys
great pic!
